Resource-constrained wireless sensor networks (WSNs) impose a substantial challenge to the transmission and processing of non-redundant perceptual data. Moreover, breakthroughs in this area have opened up a new dimension that integrates edge computing technology in wireless sensor networks. However, achieving reliable data distribution in wireless sensor networks with edge computing (EWSN) and balancing the link bandwidth and node energy resources have become challenging problems. In this article, we propose a joint bandwidth allocation and energy consumption (JBAEC) algorithm for distributing different perceptual data to different sensor nodes of the EWSN by considering the available transmission links between the source sensor and destination nodes under the condition of early perceived energy. Therefore, we first establish the model of different data packet types and energy detection costs. Second, we describe the problem of effective bandwidth allocation and prove its NP-hard feature. In addition, we formulate the bandwidth allocation problem as an optimization problem that is divided into the two states of sufficient energy and lack of energy. Afterwards, we present an available node selection (ANS) algorithm for sorting the available relay nodes under the condition of different energy-sufficient nodes. The effective transmission network construction (ETNC) algorithm selects the available transmission links based on the set of available nodes. Finally, we implement the JBAEC algorithm by using the NS-2 simulator and present extensive simulation results to verify the data distribution efficiency of the JBAEC algorithm in the EWSN.
